IXYS IXDD404 4 amp dual low-side ultrafast mosfet driver Datasheet

IXDD404
4 Amp Dual Low-Side Ultrafast MOSFET Driver
Features
General Description
• Built using the advantages and compatibility
of CMOS and IXYS HDMOSTM processes
• Latch-Up Protected up to 0.5A
• High Peak Output Current: 4A Peak
• Wide Operating Range: 4.5V to 35V
• Ability to Disable Output under Faults
• High Capacitive Load
Drive Capability: 1800pF in <15ns
• Matched Rise And Fall Times
• Low Propagation Delay Time
• Low Output Impedance
• Low Supply Current
• Two identical drivers in single chip
The IXDD404 is comprised of two 4 Amp CMOS high speed
MOSFET drivers. Each output can source and sink 4 A of
peak current while producing voltage rise and fall times of less
than 15ns to drive the latest IXYS MOSFETS & IGBT's. The
input of the driver is compatible with TTL or CMOS and is fully
immune to latch up over the entire operating range. Designed
with small internal delays, cross conduction/current shootthrough is virtually eliminated in the IXDD404. Improved speed
and drive capabilities are further enhanced by very low,
matched rise and fall times.
Additionally, each driver in the IXDD404 incorporates a unique
ability to disable the output under fault conditions. When a
logical low is forced into the Enable input of a driver, both of it's
final output stage MOSFETs (NMOS and PMOS) are turned
off. As a result, the respective output of the IXDD404 enters a
tristate mode and achieves a Soft Turn-Off of the MOSFET/
IGBT when a short circuit is detected. This helps prevent
damage that could occur to the MOSFET/IGBT if it were to be
switched off abruptly due to a dv/dt over-voltage transient.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Short Circuit di/dt Limit
A short circuit in a high-power MOSFET such as the IXFN100N20,
(20A, 1000V), as shown in Figure 26, can cause the current
through the module to flow in excess of 60A for 10µs or more
prior to self-destruction due to thermal runaway. For this
reason, some protection circuitry is needed to turn off the
MOSFET module. However, if the module is switched off too
fast, there is a danger of voltage transients occuring on the
drain due to Ldi/dt, (where L represents total inductance in
series with drain). If these voltage transients exceed the
MOSFET's voltage rating, this can cause an avalanche breakdown.
caused by the inductance of the wire connecting the source
resistor to ground. (Those glitches might cause false triggering
of the comparator).
The comparator's output should be connected to a SRFF(Set
Reset Flip Flop). The flip-flop controls both the Enable signal,
and the low power MOSFET gate. Please note that CMOS 4000series devices operate with a VCC range from 3 to 15 VDC, (with
18 VDC being the maximum allowable limit).
A low power MOSFET, such as the 2N7000, in series with a
resistor, will enable the IXFN100N20 gate voltage to drop
gradually. The resistor should be chosen so that the RC time
constant will be 100us, where "C" is the Miller capacitance of
the IXFN100N20.
The IXDD404 has the unique capability to softly switch off the
high-power MOSFET module, significantly reducing these
Ldi/dt transients.
Thus, the IXDD404 helps to prevent device destruction from
both dangers; over-current, and avalanche breakdown due to
di/dt induced over-voltage transients.
For resuming normal operation, a Reset signal is needed at
the SRFF's input to enable the IXDD404 again. This Reset can
be generated by connecting a One Shot circuit between the
IXDD408 Input signal and the SRFF restart input. The One Shot
will create a pulse on the rise of the IXDD404 input, and this
pulse will reset the SRFF outputs to normal operation.
The IXDD404 is designed to not only provide ±4A per output
under normal conditions, but also to allow it's outputs to go into
a high impedance state. This permits the IXDD404 output to
control a separate weak pull-down circuit during detected
overcurrent shutdown conditions to limit and separately control dVGS/dt gate turnoff. This circuit is shown in Figure 27.
When a short circuit occurs, the voltage drop across the lowvalue, current-sensing resistor, (Rs=0.005 Ohm), connected
between the MOSFET Source and ground, increases. This
triggers the comparator at a preset level. The SRFF drives a low
input into the Enable pin disabling the IXDD404 output. The
SRFF also turns on the low power MOSFET, (2N7000).
Referring to Figure 27, the protection circuitry should include
a comparator, whose positive input is connected to the source
of the IXFD100N20. A low pass filter should be added to the
input of the comparator to eliminate any glitches in voltage
In this way, the high-power MOSFET module is softly turned off
by the IXDD404, preventing its destruction.

IXDD404
TTL to High Voltage CMOS Level Translation
Supply Bypassing and Grounding Practices,
Output Lead inductance
The enable (EN) input to the IXDD404 is a high voltage
CMOS logic level input where the EN input threshold is ½
VCC, and may not be compatible with 5V CMOS or TTL input
levels. The IXDD404 EN input was intentionally designed
for enhanced noise immunity with the high voltage CMOS
logic levels. In a typical gate driver application, VCC =15V
and the EN input threshold at 7.5V, a 5V CMOS logical high
input applied to this typical IXDD404 application’s EN input
will be misinterpreted as a logical low, and may cause
undesirable or unexpected results. The note below is for
optional adaptation of TTL or 5V CMOS levels.
When designing a circuit to drive a high speed MOSFET
utilizing the IXDD404, it is very important to keep certain design
criteria in mind, in order to optimize performance of the driver.
Particular attention needs to be paid to Supply Bypassing,
Grounding, and minimizing the Output Lead Inductance.
Say, for example, we are using the IXDD404 to charge a 2500pF
capacitive load from 0 to 25 volts in 25ns.
Using the formula: I= ∆V C / ∆t, where ∆V=25V C=2500pF &
∆t=25ns we can determine that to charge 2500pF to 25 volts in
25ns will take a constant current of 2.5A. (In reality, the charging
current won’t be constant, and will peak somewhere around
4A).
The circuit in Figure 28 alleviates this potential logic level
misinterpretation by translating a TTL or 5V CMOS logic
input to high voltage CMOS logic levels needed by the
IXDD404 EN input. From the figure, VCC is the gate driver
power supply, typically set between 8V to 20V, and VDD is the
logic power supply, typically between 3.3V to 5.5V.
Resistors R1 and R2 form a voltage divider network so that
the Q1 base is positioned at the midpoint of the expected
TTL logic transition levels.
SUPPLY BYPASSING
In order for our design to turn the load on properly, the IXDD404
must be able to draw this 2.5A of current from the power supply
in the 25ns. This means that there must be very low impedance
between the driver and the power supply. The most common
method of achieving this low impedance is to bypass the power
supply at the driver with a capacitance value that is a magnitude
larger than the load capacitance. Usually, this would be
achieved by placing two different types of bypassing capacitors,
with complementary impedance curves, very close to the driver
itself. (These capacitors should be carefully selected, low
inductance, low resistance, high-pulse current-service
capacitors). Lead lengths may radiate at high frequency due
to inductance, so care should be taken to keep the lengths of
the leads between these bypass capacitors and the IXDD404
to an absolute minimum.
GROUNDING
In order for the design to turn the load off properly, the IXDD404
must be able to drain this 2.5A of current into an adequate
grounding system. There are three paths for returning current
that need to be considered: Path #1 is between the IXDD404
and it’s load. Path #2 is between the IXDD404 and it’s power
supply. Path #3 is between the IXDD404 and whatever logic
is driving it. All three of these paths should be as low in
resistance and inductance as possible, and thus as short as
practical. In addition, every effort should be made to keep these
three ground paths distinctly separate. Otherwise, (for
instance), the returning ground current from the load may
develop a voltage that would have a detrimental effect on the
logic line driving the IXDD404.
OUTPUT LEAD INDUCTANCE
Of equal importance to Supply Bypassing and Grounding are
issues related to the Output Lead Inductance. Every effort
should be made to keep the leads between the driver and it’s
load as short and wide as possible. If the driver must be placed
farther than 2” from the load, then the output leads should be
treated as transmission lines. In this case, a twisted-pair
should be considered, and the return line of each twisted pair
should be placed as close as possible to the ground pin of the
A TTL or 5V CMOS logic low, VTTLLOW=~<0.8V, input applied
to the Q1 emitter will drive it on. This causes the level
translator output, the Q1 collector output to settle to VCESATQ1
+ VTTLLOW=<~2V, which is sufficiently low to be correctly
interpreted as a high voltage CMOS logic low (<1/3VCC=5V
for VCC =15V given in the IXDD404 data sheet.)
A TTL high, VTTLHIGH=>~2.4V, or a 5V CMOS high,
V5VCMOSHIGH=~>3.5V, applied to the EN input of the circuit in
Figure 28 will cause Q1 to be biased off. This results in Q1
collector being pulled up by R3 to VCC=15V, and provides a
high voltage CMOS logic high output. The high voltage
CMOS logical EN output applied to the IXDD404 EN input
will enable it, allowing the gate driver to fully function as a
±4 Amp output driver.
The total component cost of the circuit in Figure 28 is less
than $0.10 if purchased in quantities >1K pieces. It is
recommended that the physical placement of the level
translator circuit be placed close to the source of the TTL or
CMOS logic circuits to maximize noise rejection.
